Hunta Anna icithont troops Election of Amya nt President Reopening of Fence Kvgoliutions tlepartrd arrest of Ciena. Worth and fittow and Lieut. Col, Duncan. From the New Orleans Picayune, extra, Dec. 19. Tim schooner Portia, Capt. Wakemitn, arrived hero on Sundiy afternoon, having Bailed from Vera Cruz on tlic 1st inst. Tim new by this arrival is very important, nnd first of all, lint story about Stnta Anna's being nt the bead of li.lltlO mm, and threatening and overawing Congress, nnd the despatch of Gen. Worth to Querctaro in protect Congress, turn out to be a mere moonshine. A gentleman thoroughly conversant Willi Mexican al-furs, wlio camo passenger nn the Purlin, assures ns that from tho best infruiatiou ho could obtain In; is satisfied that in place ot being in command of eighteen thousand men, Sunta Anna had not eighteen hundred, nor oven a hundred and eighty followers. Oen. Annya was elected President of Mexico on the llth inst. He ban unco belorc been Provisional President. His preRent term of otHce extends only to tin Htli of January next, lie is known to bo in fnvor of pence. In forming bis cabinet he continued Mora V Villamil in the W.ir Department, and made Petri y Pent, late the President, Ins Secretary of Slate. The whole administration is in favor of nn honorable ponce, and one of his first acts was to dispute h n commission to tho citv of Mexico to reopen negotiation with Mr, Trint. Tlie communication were Senors Couto, Ar-t mi hi n nod Cuvns and Gen. Rincnn, the first two having been nn the former commission. Mr. 'Prist's powers had been revoked prior to the arrival of the coniniisHioii, and as (Jen. Scott possessed no ptwer to treat with them, it is pretmmed they were referred tu our (iuvernment at Washington. The next most important intelligence by this arri-errival is the reported arrest of (ieii. Worth, C-eii. 1M low and Lt. Col, Duncan by Gen. Scott. The re. p irt is that leiters w ntten hy tliese jrctit Iciiu-n reflecting upon iho commander-in-chief have fallen into his piihedaion, upon wliii'h ho at once arrested them. We have not yet received any letters from the city of Mi lieu Ulor than the UU uf November. They iimIio no mention ol these arrests, but wo have letters on tho Maria Hurt, front the city of Mexico, whiclt we presume will elucidate the whole mailer Tin? following letter contains political news of in-forest nnd importance, though one sentence is confined and we fear something js omitted. It appears altogether probable that Hie Mexican Congress has been dissolved by the withdrawal of the I'uros, so that no numum can be ohlaitit-d. Mkxiki, Nov. 'Jl, 117, The Governors of the Stales are still in session nt tueretaro, ntid have proposed two ipiestous to the government, to which they demand clt.ur undperi-iup-tury replies. Jt.

Grand lotul 17 1 . ' A lew more leit." Tho Belmont Farmer proposes tho nanio of tho Jinn. Hknjamis Kuaut.Es, of that county, as a suitable candidate lor Governor of Ohio. Judge Uuggles foreiirhteen consecutive years represented tho Statu of Ohio in tho Senate of thu United Stales That uf itself is a suiliinent endorsement of li s litncu for other civil stations. Joskpii J. Coombs, of Gallia County, is proposed in tho I lolines County Fanner, ns a suitable candidate fur Governor. Mr. Coouns is a good man, and a ruo Whig worthy of any trust that may bo cjiu-milted to Ins hands. V e toes Vetoed I Sime few days mine the President of the United St if inflicted upon Congresi a gratuitous Message, consisting of un argument, showing tint in the opinion of tint functionary the national government does not pojiess the c.nutilutioiul power to cuiiatruut works) of Internal Iiiiprovem.'iit. Tho ajiology for thisacluf the President wan, that the last Congress, wilhiit U few diya of the cloie of the term for which its mem hers were elected, p.tsded an act, unking provision for some works of that character, which tiie President not approving, "it in his pocket. Having puwrd bo near the close of the session, it was not incumbent on him lo return it to thn House in which it originated, with his objections; but the ae,t of tho people's representatives fell lifeless, from the slr?er neglect of the President t'i attach to it his signature, which aloito was no ressiry lo impart to it vitality. Wo kii!t.v n it for what p'lrpoio lie sent in t aoth-tr C mreai his reason for dmpprovtii the acts of lh"ir predcficHJors. TUis Cuujres had no connection with th it act h id no power or right to reconsider or tike a vote upon it. And tho only reason wo can con jecture for the President thrmling upon them, unask ed, his views of their c Jiirflitution il powers in matters of this aorl, was to ndvMO litem that he entertained sentiments differing perhaps from their own nnd that it was not, therefore, expedient for them to undertake, or legislate with reference to any Bitch enterprise ; as, if they hIi mid attempt l i do so, their aet w.mld meet with his royal Yrio, forhidd in $ all such legislation. Tiiis reil dictation has met with a cignal rebuke, at the hands of the UeitreBelltati es of n Kepilblicill t i.or.ule. Tint House of Ilenresentalives has nllinnrd that the government dots p$$r$t the identical power whi :h the President declares it ilnrs nut potatss. And what is more, this nllirnntion by the House of Uep resetit.ilives is made by a vole of 'M yens to . 1 ii iva heiii'j thirty over and above ttnotliii ds ! A voto sulfieieiitly eiuph Air, to remove all cause ol appre- Tcrrihlo Ctilnmity. The Cincinnati Gazette says: Ttifl rumor which reached our city on Saturday, and to which we alluded in yesterday's Gazette, in regard to the loss of life, at the late firm of the Clermont" Phalanx, Inw proved correct. Tins property wtu "ld "bout a year since, to the asnociatiou known as the "True brotherhood," whieh recently held its meetings, i" (his city, at the Melodeon. A handsome- new brick building has just been completed hy thein, the walla of which were hardly dry. It stood on the bottom land near the river, and it is supposed thf foundations were washed out by the current. It wai thought to be a very strong building, mid many of the neighboring farmers hud crowed into il for necuriiy during tho IWid. Last Wednesday evening, between ti and U o'clock, it fell, a h"up ol ruin, owing to th i great weight of snow upon lis roof and the pressure of the waters. There were thirty-two persons in the building ot the time, of whom hut fifteen were saved. So sudden was the catastrophe, lint not three min-utes elapsed, after the first alarm, before tho whole building U ll u iinss of ruiiM into the water, which was running pad it ten or twelve feet deep. The crush was beard for a mile, and neighbors hurried lo the Been- in bo its, and took off, ami rendered every ne-cesieiry kindness to the survivors.

State Journal: Tho lightnings have already borne to you thu triumphant nnd glorious response of this city, lo the noble eiilimenls contained in the. Lexington Spcrrh and Resolution of Hv.Ntir Clay, on ihe subject of the .Mexican War. The presi of the city will furnish you with the detailed proceedings, hut I cannot resit writing, to tell you how well and bow heartily ihe people responded to the an mo elevated sentiments ; und how ardent and emphatic are their desires for peace. The meeting ul the Tabernacle lant evening, wuk by far the largest in numbers, and most inspiring in character of any which I everfpaw assembled in tliit city. The spacious building was crowded to its utmost capacity long before the hour of assembling hud arrived, llroadway, in the vicinity of the entrance, w as completely blockaded before the doors were opened J nnd no sooner wa that done, than tho edifice was filled ns if by magic. F.very avenue wan crowded, and thousands went away unable to approach ihe building. With grciit exertion 1 was able to obtain a favorablo Beat in the gallery, and as I looked arnnnd upon the sea of faces earnest, intelligent, and determined face, 1 pit that the people in their majesty were there, patient ti rebuke wrong and approve right. All was calm und dignifiud, and Ihe organization was made with the decorum of the highest deliberative assembly. When, however, the address wa made, lo every eloipient pith sage the response was like thunder, and whenever the name of Ci.av was mentioned it became louder and more tumultuous, and was continued, word upon word, cheer upon cheer, for many in in utes; making the building flmke to its very foundations'. Foil know tli.it I haw,- witnessed iiiuny tres.t and etithusi-antic, tt.HtieiublagcH ; but believe rue, this was in all ru-ipecta the iiio.il imputing I ever attended. 1 need it'll refer to the address and resolutions adopted, tmr to the eliMjiient speeches made on the occasion. These are ul 1 before ynu and iu language und sentiment are worthy of the occasion, and of the eminent statestueli whose Reiitimeilts they reuHirm. The effect of tin meeting hint been excellent; it has strengthened the timid, and centralized the opposition to the high handed usurpations of Ihe Executive. .Not only ho, but it has nilem:ed the so-called Whir'H, whose inercL-niry sou In are iullueiiced by tho few paltry additional barrels of pork or lloiir which they be attic to sell in consequence of this war; for Htrnn.re as it may seem there are a jap such, of which (he Cmirirr and I'.n'juirrr is the organ, and tin; Col. Daljrelty ("every Hung by turns and nothing long,") of that sheet is the bead. TtitH individual, who, by the way, kissed the feet of our subiiuie President, to obtain a minion this individual, whose friendship is worse than h: eiiunty, u-eil every exertion to prevent the ineetiiiir, and after its call denounced its objects. Hot he is ipiite silent now ; nnd is likely lo remain so. If Polk flou t reward him with nn otliec 1 uhall begin lo doubt Ihe old adage about " honor among thieves." The IruMi is, this war with Mexico is not only in opposition to tho wishes of nine-tenths of the people of Ihe country, but the objects for which it h waged are detected by them. In private, every body whose opinion is not influenced by Kxesutive patronage condemns it. All know il is adverse to our interests, nnd hk' lyt't lead lo civil commotions, it not to nn lional (lihSiilutioii. All know, that it was unholy in iIh origin, and is unjust iu its prosecution ; und the rrt( of all ln victories, which have been won un Ihe battle fields of Mexico cannot disguise the fuct tint, judged by ttie severe rules uf right, justice and religmn, it is a disgrace lo Ihe country. Iuisirtial history will inevitably cumign its author to eternal infamy. TIumh sentiments pervade not one party alone, but nre sh ired by all nghl thinking men ; and it only needs n manly and direct avowal of their opinion lo bring this war to a speedy and honorable eloe. Let men have the courage to speak oul as becomes freemen, nud the Kxeeutive, cillous ns he is to justice, would not dure In Hesitate longer, in complying Willi the public demand. True conservntivism is not pnsstre it is mtirr iu iti nature. The (iiroudista hesitated, filtered, lell, ll idlhey tided vp to thtir ronrictions of irii'tt iras rii'lit, France to day would have been i iti K !

'Ihe venerable Patriot, now in his Mlth year, h is lost none of his vigor of mind ; nud is directing all bin energies to th" object of pence.

Hunta Anna icithont troops Election of Amya nt President Reopening of Fence Kvgoliutions tlepartrd arrest of Ciena. Worth and fittow and Lieut. Col, Duncan. From the New Orleans Picayune, extra, Dec. 19. Tim schooner Portia, Capt. Wakemitn, arrived hero on Sundiy afternoon, having Bailed from Vera Cruz on tlic 1st inst. Tim new by this arrival is very important, nnd first of all, lint story about Stnta Anna's being nt the bead of li.lltlO mm, and threatening and overawing Congress, nnd the despatch of Gen. Worth to Querctaro in protect Congress, turn out to be a mere moonshine. A gentleman thoroughly conversant Willi Mexican al-furs, wlio camo passenger nn the Purlin, assures ns that from tho best infruiatiou ho could obtain In; is satisfied that in place ot being in command of eighteen thousand men, Sunta Anna had not eighteen hundred, nor oven a hundred and eighty followers. Oen. Annya was elected President of Mexico on the llth inst. He ban unco belorc been Provisional President. His preRent term of otHce extends only to tin Htli of January next, lie is known to bo in fnvor of pence. In forming bis cabinet he continued Mora V Villamil in the W.ir Department, and made Petri y Pent, late the President, Ins Secretary of Slate. The whole administration is in favor of nn honorable ponce, and one of his first acts was to dispute h n commission to tho citv of Mexico to reopen negotiation with Mr, Trint. Tlie communication were Senors Couto, Ar-t mi hi n nod Cuvns and Gen. Rincnn, the first two having been nn the former commission. Mr. 'Prist's powers had been revoked prior to the arrival of the coniniisHioii, and as (Jen. Scott possessed no ptwer to treat with them, it is pretmmed they were referred tu our (iuvernment at Washington. The next most important intelligence by this arri-errival is the reported arrest of (ieii. Worth, C-eii. 1M low and Lt. Col, Duncan by Gen. Scott. The re. p irt is that leiters w ntten hy tliese jrctit Iciiu-n reflecting upon iho commander-in-chief have fallen into his piihedaion, upon wliii'h ho at once arrested them. We have not yet received any letters from the city of Mi lieu Ulor than the UU uf November. They iimIio no mention ol these arrests, but wo have letters on tho Maria Hurt, front the city of Mexico, whiclt we presume will elucidate the whole mailer Tin? following letter contains political news of in-forest nnd importance, though one sentence is confined and we fear something js omitted. It appears altogether probable that Hie Mexican Congress has been dissolved by the withdrawal of the I'uros, so that no numum can be ohlaitit-d. Mkxiki, Nov.

Joskpii J. Coombs, of Gallia County, is proposed in tho I lolines County Fanner, ns a suitable candidate fur Governor. Mr. Coouns is a good man, and a ruo Whig worthy of any trust that may bo cjiu-milted to Ins hands. V e toes Vetoed I Sime few days mine the President of the United St if inflicted upon Congresi a gratuitous Message, consisting of un argument, showing tint in the opinion of tint functionary the national government does not pojiess the c.nutilutioiul power to cuiiatruut works) of Internal Iiiiprovem.'iit. Tho ajiology for thisacluf the President wan, that the last Congress, wilhiit U few diya of the cloie of the term for which its mem hers were elected, p.tsded an act, unking provision for some works of that character, which tiie President not approving, "it in his pocket. Having puwrd bo near the close of the session, it was not incumbent on him lo return it to thn House in which it originated, with his objections; but the ae,t of tho people's representatives fell lifeless, from the slr?er neglect of the President t'i attach to it his signature, which aloito was no ressiry lo impart to it vitality. Wo kii!t.v n it for what p'lrpoio lie sent in t aoth-tr C mreai his reason for dmpprovtii the acts of lh"ir predcficHJors. TUis Cuujres had no connection with th it act h id no power or right to reconsider or tike a vote upon it. And tho only reason wo can con jecture for the President thrmling upon them, unask ed, his views of their c Jiirflitution il powers in matters of this aorl, was to ndvMO litem that he entertained sentiments differing perhaps from their own nnd that it was not, therefore, expedient for them to undertake, or legislate with reference to any Bitch enterprise ; as, if they hIi mid attempt l i do so, their aet w.mld meet with his royal Yrio, forhidd in $ all such legislation. Tiiis reil dictation has met with a cignal rebuke, at the hands of the UeitreBelltati es of n Kepilblicill t i.or.ule. Tint House of Ilenresentalives has nllinnrd that the government dots p$$r$t the identical power whi :h the President declares it ilnrs nut potatss.

Correspondence of the Ohio State Jonrnnl. Nt.w Yoiik, Dec. ill, lr47. En. State Journal: Tho lightnings have already borne to you thu triumphant nnd glorious response of this city, lo the noble eiilimenls contained in the. Lexington Spcrrh and Resolution of Hv.Ntir Clay, on ihe subject of the .Mexican War. The presi of the city will furnish you with the detailed proceedings, hut I cannot resit writing, to tell you how well and bow heartily ihe people responded to the an mo elevated sentiments ; und how ardent and emphatic are their desires for peace. The meeting ul the Tabernacle lant evening, wuk by far the largest in numbers, and most inspiring in character of any which I everfpaw assembled in tliit city. The spacious building was crowded to its utmost capacity long before the hour of assembling hud arrived, llroadway, in the vicinity of the entrance, w as completely blockaded before the doors were opened J nnd no sooner wa that done, than tho edifice was filled ns if by magic. F.very avenue wan crowded, and thousands went away unable to approach ihe building. With grciit exertion 1 was able to obtain a favorablo Beat in the gallery, and as I looked arnnnd upon the sea of faces earnest, intelligent, and determined face, 1 pit that the people in their majesty were there, patient ti rebuke wrong and approve right. All was calm und dignifiud, and Ihe organization was made with the decorum of the highest deliberative assembly. When, however, the address wa made, lo every eloipient pith sage the response was like thunder, and whenever the name of Ci.av was mentioned it became louder and more tumultuous, and was continued, word upon word, cheer upon cheer, for many in in utes; making the building flmke to its very foundations'. Foil know tli.it I haw,- witnessed iiiuny tres.t and etithusi-antic, tt.HtieiublagcH ; but believe rue, this was in all ru-ipecta the iiio.il imputing I ever attended. 1 need it'll refer to the address and resolutions adopted, tmr to the eliMjiient speeches made on the occasion. These are ul 1 before ynu and iu language und sentiment are worthy of the occasion, and of the eminent statestueli whose Reiitimeilts they reuHirm. The effect of tin meeting hint been excellent; it has strengthened the timid, and centralized the opposition to the high handed usurpations of Ihe Executive. .Not only ho, but it has nilem:ed the so-called Whir'H, whose inercL-niry sou In are iullueiiced by tho few paltry additional barrels of pork or lloiir which they be attic to sell in consequence of this war; for Htrnn.re as it may seem there are a jap such, of which (he Cmirirr and I'.n'juirrr is the organ, and tin; Col. Daljrelty ("every Hung by turns and nothing long,") of that sheet is the bead. TtitH individual, who, by the way, kissed the feet of our subiiuie President, to obtain a minion this individual, whose friendship is worse than h: eiiunty, u-eil every exertion to prevent the ineetiiiir, and after its call denounced its objects. Hot he is ipiite silent now ; nnd is likely lo remain so. If Polk flou t reward him with nn otliec 1 uhall begin lo doubt Ihe old adage about " honor among thieves." The IruMi is, this war with Mexico is not only in opposition to tho wishes of nine-tenths of the people of Ihe country, but the objects for which it h waged are detected by them. In private, every body whose opinion is not influenced by Kxesutive patronage condemns it. All know il is adverse to our interests, nnd hk' lyt't lead lo civil commotions, it not to nn lional (lihSiilutioii. All know, that it was unholy in iIh origin, and is unjust iu its prosecution ; und the rrt( of all ln victories, which have been won un Ihe battle fields of Mexico cannot disguise the fuct tint, judged by ttie severe rules uf right, justice and religmn, it is a disgrace lo Ihe country. Iuisirtial history will inevitably cumign its author to eternal infamy. TIumh sentiments pervade not one party alone, but nre sh ired by all nghl thinking men ; and it only needs n manly and direct avowal of their opinion lo bring this war to a speedy and honorable eloe. Let men have the courage to speak oul as becomes freemen, nud the Kxeeutive, cillous ns he is to justice, would not dure In Hesitate longer, in complying Willi the public demand. True conservntivism is not pnsstre it is mtirr iu iti nature. The (iiroudista hesitated, filtered, lell, ll idlhey tided vp to thtir ronrictions of irii'tt iras rii'lit, France to day would have been i iti K !

'Ihe venerable Patriot, now in his Mlth year, h is lost none of his vigor of mind ; nud is directing all bin energies to th" object of pence.
